Good morning, Minot.

North Dakota State Fair leaders are urging guests to plan ahead by using a free shuttle service—linking the fairgrounds to Dakota Square Mall—to cut traffic for today's sold-out Jelly Roll concert at 8 p.m. They advise arriving early and being cautious of nearby road construction that may slow travel.

Today, the Butterfly Encounter exhibit at the ND State Fair invites visitors to feed live Painted Lady butterflies — Cool Zoo also offers free educational classes on butterfly lifecycles until July 26.

The interactive setup provides a hands-on experience using nectar-dipped feeding sticks.

Athletes of all ages ran the annual 'Run the Route' 5K before today's parade—runners and even some dogs ran along the streets.

According to the race results, Yoni Neyshtadt finished first among males and Danielle Turk-Bly topped the women's group—winners were also named for each age range.
